It's time to Boo and Hiss!
Oh no — the Butter Bandits are coming! Some dastardly villains take the stage this weekend during Cottage Theatre's 10th annual Bohemia Mining Days melodrama. As the Butter Churns . . . OR All That Glitters is Not Gold was written especially for Cottage Theatre by local playwright Keith Kessler, and features the 34 participants in this year's Melodrama Camp. 
The show begins with several music and dance numbers that showcase our young performers. After that, the audience warms up with an old-fashioned sing-along and plenty of booing and hissing practice in time for the main event. This is a great show for families of all ages.
